"Go and make fish paste. We'll eat fish cakes at night. Protein, vitamins, chlorophyll, carbohydrates, fat, and salt must be replenished."
Liu Tingguang saw that it was about time and asked everyone to go to work.
They gave flag signals and arranged the work. Forty ships made the same meal.
The team brought a variety of seafood with them. Li Family Zhuangzi's products were all made with recipes. They were afraid that the sailors would get tired of eating the same food.
During the voyage, not only physical health, but also mental health had to be ensured.
Li Family Zhuangzi's recipes could ensure that every meal was different. It was just that the sailors were lazy and could eat the same food for two days in a row.
The officials in Chang 'an used to eat the same vegetables every day in winter. They could also eat cabbage and radish, which were considered good food.
Later, there were greenhouse vegetables. The price was within an affordable range, so they would buy some occasionally.
When they didn't buy, they were divided according to the grade. Her Majesty gave some to them and Li Family Zhuangzi gave some to them.
This included tofu mixed with eggs with aged vinegar, dried cowpea pickles with pork skin, shrimp oil side dishes that were not very salty, fried eggplant boxes made of dried eggplant slices, and dried radish strips with a sweet and sour taste …
Oh, there were also bean worms. They were delicious when fried or pan-fried.
"Don't break the utensils. The craftsmen are so skillful. When I go back, I want to apply to study at Li Family Zhuangzi for half a month."
The talkative official used a pestle to pound the fish. In order to prevent the juice from splashing out, the craftsmen added a lid on top.
To be precise, there were two lids. The big lid covered the pestle and left a hole. The pestle could freely change its angle.
There was also a small lid where the pestle was to cover the hole left by the big lid.
It didn't fall out when it was being pounded. It could be used to make garlic paste and pound meat.
"We used it to peel rice before. I didn't expect that the rice would fly out when we added two lids."
Another official extended the current use of the tool.
"We don't need rice. Before Li Dongzhu came to our family, we had been pounding it. The rice flew out, swept it, and shook it. In the end, it was still the same."
The official who had worked since he was young had his own opinions. If the current tool was useful, Li Family Zhuangzi would have printed it in the newspaper.
Obviously, the craftsmen on the ship were worried that they would leave behind something that was difficult to clean up on the ship, so they thought of a solution at the last minute.
The craftsmen of the Li Family Zhuangzi were very smart, and their craftsmanship was needless to say.
"Prime Minister Yao knew that Li Dongzhu lacked craftsmen, so he specially trained them and sent them to Li Family Zhuangzi." The talkative official revealed the secret he knew.
"Bah!" A voice rang out from behind them. A blacksmith was standing there.
"Yao Chong wanted to suppress Dongzhu. At that time, Yao Chong didn't have enough authority as Prime Minister, so Dongzhu took over the position. Yao Chong was anxious.
Later on, things kept happening. None of them were better than Dongzhu, so they had no choice but to give up. They couldn't afford to support him anymore.
Yao Chong pays them very little and forces them to create new things. He doesn't even allow them to go out and communicate. "
The Blacksmith spoke the truth, calling him Yao Chong without a shred of respect.
"How do you know?" The talkative official was a little angry.
"I'm the one who was forced by Yao Chong. The entire workshop was filled with bureaucrats.
They were supposed to give us 15 coins of salary and 5 coins of allowance per day. The allowance was used for food and accommodation.
In the end, the place we lived in was stuffy in summer and cold in winter. The food … Don't mention it, don't mention it. "
The Blacksmith waved his hand as he spoke. He squatted down and looked at the pestle, wondering if he could continue to improve.
"What about you now?" The official who had worked since he was young wanted to know more.
"Now that my family lives in Zhuangzi, as long as it meets the operating standards, I can modify and create new things as I wish.
Dongzhu said before, whether it's useful or not, you have to create it first. If it's not useful in thinking about it, what if it's useful in other areas?
Dongzhu isn't afraid of wasting materials. Craftsmen who don't waste materials can be easily found.
Technology is the foundation. When you take the initiative to waste materials, it's technology advancing into art. "
When the Blacksmith talked about his work, he became energetic and carried a trace of pride.
…
"I suddenly realized that many of the historical buildings and carvings in the world are nothing to be proud of."
The yacht arrived at Easter Island and was fishing in the sea.
Li Yi saw people on the island and used a drone to look.
At this moment, there were no stone statues on the island. He suddenly realized that instead of chasing after the so-called great things of others, he should look at his own.
The stone statues on Easter Island were not as dense and were not as heavy. Moreover, the carvings were not good.
The propaganda always said that the stone statues on the island symbolized something and how difficult it was.
Look at his own civilization. Is the Great Wall enough?
They said that the Suez Canal was excavated and abandoned several times. Look at the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal was not as simple as a man-made river. It ran through many water systems. How the water flowed had to be calculated at every location.
From north to south, from south to north, and finally to the sea. With this basin, which canal in the world would dare to make a sound?
When countless people were troubled by septicemia during the Age of Discovery, China's ocean fleets were never troubled by it.
Li Yi suddenly thought it through. What civilization and statue? Do you think China can't make them?
China had fallen and risen time and time again because of climate and foreign invasions.
Those unreasonable white-skinned beasts had destroyed so many civilizations. Why didn't they destroy China's civilization?
Why do you have priority? Do you have the foundation?
Isn't it just 200 years? A few hundred years is nothing in the long river of history. Look at you. Do you have an immortal legacy?
"Li Lang, they look the same as what we saw on the island. It's still the woman's words that are more effective."
Princess Yongmu suddenly realized that Li Lang seemed to be a different person. His temperament was different.
How should she put it? At this moment, Li Lang stood there with his hands behind his back. The waves could not move him at all. He was like a towering mountain and also like a sharp sword.
"Yes, I finally figured it out. The large stone statues actually represent a lighthouse. The eyes of the stone statues were made with gems, but there are no gems here.
So where did the gems come from? Exchange, trade. This place was a transit station. It declined because of disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and small glaciers. "
Li Yi thought of another possibility. The gems in the eyes of the stone statues were for people to see.
The red hats on the stone statues were different in color so that outsiders could distinguish them.
The stone statues' expressions were solemn and respectful. It could be said to be a form of etiquette.
The people on the other islands looked similar to the people on the current island. In theory, they started to develop from Southeast Asia, including Taiwan.
These stone statues belonged to the country's gate. The wind and ocean currents there were too annoying. As long as they came from there and did not deviate too much from the route, they would be able to see the stone statues.
The stone statues were lighthouses, representing the country's gate of a huge tribe.
Because starting from here and continuing to the west, as long as there were people on the islands, they were people of this tribe.
It was not isolated. It had trade and mating relations with the people behind and in front of it.
The stone statues were only left with the upper body and even the head. It was shaken by the earthquake.
Otherwise, why would they bury a part of a stone statue? Boring?
Li Yi smiled. He felt that he had solved a puzzle in history.
It was not a myth. It was just simple communication.
